"The pent-up anger is still there, beneath the surface. But for it to seriously take off you need a catalyst, you need a cause, you need organisation and leadership. It's a big task," one European diplomat said.

The problem in trying to overthrow a totalitarian government is the vulnerability of your own leadership and communications

There is a technique to get around this. It's called "leaderless resistance". It involves committed individuals acting alone or in very tiny groups, with no attempt to coordinate. In its essence: you see a mullah or pro-govt vigilante walking around -- kill him if it can be done with minimal risk. Take whatever action can be taken, do it quietly, and disappear into the night to strike again at a time and place of your own choosing

I am already hearing reports that that may end up being the next phase of resistance. More on this later.
